Bella italia in Merton

They took ages to make two margaritas and one of them was very disappointing. The extra paid for artichokes were hardly visible, just some tiny ones scattered over. The organic tomatoes were just canned tomato sauce. The pizzas arrived ice cold and it was not the fault of the delivery person. The piece of hazelnut chocolate cake was just a tiny brownie. Everything tasted okay after heating it up again but not worth the money

This was the most disappointing Italian restaurant I have ever been to. The food was either unseasoned or too salty. The customer service was also poor and it looked like the restaurant was understaffed.

We decided to go despite having already eaten since we have to catch a flight of several hours, the fact is that in order not to get too full we ordered two menus without dessert for 18 pounds, the bacon salad was delicious, it is not very filling but for a person is fine as a starter. We ask the waitress that the meat be without spices or creams, everything separately. The food arrives and one of the plates has the breast full of sauce and the waitress argues that we have indicated that only one of the two dishes comes with everything on the side, I accept that it may be my mistake. The other meat dish, the one that she herself said we only indicated to her, had nothing but the meat… it only tasted like pepper. I don't know if it's because we ordered little (we had already eaten and we just wanted to ensure the flight without hunger) or he saw us looking like tourists, but the treatment has been borderline distant and cold. The salad is recommended, and if you like pepper instead of ordering meat there is a Tesco 50m away where pepper is cheaper.

NOT TEMPORARILY CLOSED. JUST CLOSED FULL STOP. BEEN CLOSED AGES.
